I Hate Systems

"By the way, Compass." Rhizen spoke in the end, "Can you send me your memory regarding the abilities you gained in my world. I'll try to synthesise the same once I return."

"Sure," Compass Carburettor nodded, transferring the relevant memory into Rhizen's mind, causing his eyes to light up in surprise as he digested all the information.

"Amazing!" Rhizen said in surprise, "As expected of the Main Character. You sure have an interesting arsenal of abilities."

"Hmm, if you consume a part of my innate luck, you should be capable of the same." Compass Carburettor said.

"Whoa!" Rhizen waved his hands, suddenly stepping back a little, "That would be terrifyingly stupid of me."

"Stupid?" Compass Carburettor raised an eyebrow at the claim.

"What do you think is the characteristic of the Main Character's innate luck?" Rhizen asked.

"Hmm…" Compass Carburettor tilted his head, not having a clear picture.

"Absolute opportunity amidst absolute adversity." Rhizen stated solemnly, "That's the characteristic of the Main Character's innate luck."

"And, only the Main Character is capable of shouldering that burden." Rhizen continued to explain further, "Theoretically, I can consume your luck and gain some advantages, but there's too much risk involved."

"Basically." He massaged his forehead, stating, "I want nothing to do with your innate luck. That's too troublesome for me to handle. Besides,"

He said in confidence, "I can harness the power of luck. And by fighting against the Luck based Systems, I'll gain knowledge regarding all the established forms of Luck too while also stealing the same for my disposal. That's more than enough for me. Do note that there was also Protagonist Luck in Chenger."

"Protagonist Luck?" Compass Carburettor was surprised, "Is that similar to my luck?"

"Hmm, not exactly. There are minor differences." Rhizen thought for a couple of minutes before saying, "I can't state any clear differences, but the best example is the difference between you and that Ranze guy. The Luck that he possesses can be considered the Protagonist Luck."

"If you want a more accurate view, you can consider it like this." Rhizen raised a finger, pointing at him, "Your Main Character Luck is geared towards annihilating the Systems. That's the primary difference. That is why the abilities you gain are all perfect for killing Systems. But that's not the case for Ranze. He can only become overpowered in this world."

"I see, that makes sense." Compass Carburettor nodded before asking, "What will you be doing now? Would you like to move with me?"

"No, I'll pass on that." Rhizen waved his hand, beginning to walk away, "We'll only end up hindering each other by working together. I'll be moving separately for a while as I hunt the System Hosts moving alone."

"When you're able to interact with the chains sealing your abilities, contact me." Rhizen said, "As for the method, just wriggle your innate luck. It's unique and enormous, so I can sense it even while I'm not in the Gaider Realm."

"Alright, I should be able to do that." Compass Carburettor nodded, watching Rhizen summon a bird that carried him away.

Since he possessed the Human Divine Martial Spirit, at the Martial Origin Stage, he was able to summon a variety of Human Martial Spirits for his use.

Compass Carburettor was unaware as to how many forms Rhizen was able to use, but they should be in the three digits at the very least. After all, Rhizen was in the Gaider Realm for as long as himself.

And considering his luck, he should have stumbled upon a large variety of Human Martial Spirit cultivators whose Martial Spirits he consumed.

Even until now, Rhizen didn't state what material he had fused with. One of them was the Mental Energy Sphere he obtained from Compass Carburettor. As for the second one, he didn't mention it.

"Are you alright?" Compass Carburettor asked upon seeing Grisha deep in thought.

"Yeah, I'm just hoping that Rhizen succeeds." Grisha said, "That way, my mother will survive from the next loop onwards. She's just…unfit to survive in an apocalypse you see…"

"She'll be fine." Compass Carburettor gently hugged her, patting the back of her head, "With all of us working together, we'll definitely save your world."

"Thank you." Grisha smiled, tearing up a little as she wiped her tears, her mood brightening up immediately in response, "I look forward to the day this would be a reality."

"Who…was he?" Ranze approached upon seeing Rhizen leave, recalling the scene of him killing the terrifying Warktor in a matter of seconds, trembling in response, unable to fathom Rhizen's true strength.

This was inconceivable since Rhizen was at the same cultivation base as him—First Layer of the Martial Origin Stage.

"A colleague from my world." Grisha replied, stating after a moment of thought, "You can consider him the protagonist of my world. He's incredibly terrifying."

"Yeah, I noticed that too." Ranze nodded, sighing in response, feeling a bit dejected.

For the past three years, ever since he learnt of the truth from Compass Carburettor, he had been training his strength endlessly, hoping to be on par with the enemies he would face in the future.

But, his first fight with Chenger went horribly. If not for Grisha, he would have been killed by her a couple of times at least.

For the second time, he fought against Warktor. And this only resulted in a humiliating defeat. Moreover, he also had Xuer and Bunuela's help, but still failed in the end.

If Rhizen hadn't arrived, all three of them would have died.

So, he was pretty sullen.

"It happens." Compass Carburettor consoled him, "Chenger is one of the strongest among the enemies. She's Host to the Destiny Luck System and is an incredible fighter. Even for me, it would have taken many hours of nonstop battle to gradually wear her down."

"As for Sir Warktor, he's a peerless expert from my world." Grisha said, "And, he remembers everything he had experienced. And this experience is worth a millennium in my world. Honestly, the fact that you lasted that long against him itself is praiseworthy. Even if he's an enemy, he must have taught you things, right?"

"Yes…" Ranze nodded, recalling his exchange with Warktor, "He said I was stronger than him but lacked experience."

"He said that?" Grisha was surprised before smiling, "Then why are you depressed? You've been acknowledged by the top expert of my world. So, you only need to be in more battles in the future before you're able to kill a System Host on your own."

"Are all the System Hosts as terrifying as him?" Ranze asked.
